The art of taking pictures of objects is space got recent attention via astronaut Reid Wiseman, who took a picture of dice floating in space and more, sharing the images over his Twitter. A Japanese artist has done something similar, teaming up with JP Aerospace to take pictures of plants in the stratosphere.

The surprisingly little-known series known as Space Hulk is back with a vengeance, this time taking on the world with Unreal Engine 4. Everything we’ve seen with the UE4 stamp of approval on its back thus far has looked fantastic, and Space Hulk: Deathwing is no exception to the rule.

SpaceX targeted the US Air Force earlier this year, accusing it of blocking competition and costing tax payers unnecessary fees when it awarded the United Launch Alliance joint venture various contracts. That issue has persisted, with the latest being an amended complaint.

NASA has given the green light to a 3D printer specially designed for the International Space Station, with the microgravity-ready fabricator now expected to blast off in August this year. Made In Space announced plans to put a 3D printer in orbit last year, working with the US space agency on the idea that, rather than ship specific components and parts to the ISS, it makes more sense to produce them on-demand.

Some people dream of the now, others of the future. NASA's Harold White is one of those who dreams of the future, working with a team at the space agency to develop a warp drive that can one day take spacecraft up to faster-than-light speeds. To showcase what this future spaceship might look like, he worked alongside artist Mark Rademaker to formulate an updated visual concept.

Dice -- or perhaps just a singular die -- was rolled in wide-open space for what may be the first time by American astronaut Reid Wiseman, who snapped a picture of the little red cube as it floated above the Earth. Despite how it might appear, the die is entirely real, and is accompanied by some other nifty images.

The SpaceX Dragon V2 has been revealed by CEO Elon Musk, and now - just a few hours after the craft has been introduced - we get to see it (animated) in flight. This animation shows the craft up in space - after its launch - attaching to the International Space Station, and returning to Earth.

With the first Dragon spacecraft hanging above the audience's heads, the illustrious Elon Musk unveiled the Dragon version 2. This latest spaceship from his SpaceX company was designed with two goals in mind: carrying humans and landing on solid ground, all in one piece.

As promised, SpaceX is unveiling the Dragon MK 2 at the moment, having kicked it off just now at about 10PM EDT. You can watch it for yourself in a live streaming of the event, which is set to take place for two hours, coming to an end at midnight in the same time zone.

Last month, SpaceX filed a lawsuit to get work with the Air Force, something that has been henceforth granted to a Boeing and Lockheed Martin joint venture. That led to plans by the Air Force to certify SpaceX to carry its payload, but that doesn't seem to be the end of the issue.
